Conversations Book Club explores the life and message of Bestselling author V. C. Andrews

This summer the people of Mississippi have the opportunity to be a part of something historic: A two-month discussion of one of the world's most celebrated authors, V. C. Andrews!

With millions of her books in print in over a dozen countries worldwide, there have been few authors who have been able to make the kind of impact as V. C. Andrews. Even her death couldn't stop her success, as it has enabled generation after generation of readers to come to know her as a masterful storyteller.

But who really was V. C. Andrews? What happened in her mysterious life and untimely death? How is she still enthralling us from the grave? This and more will be discussed during July and August 2007 in discussions led by Conversations Book Club founder C. A. Webb.

Below is the schedule for the discussions. All are free to the public, and look for refreshments to be served.

* Tuesday, July 3, 2007 @ 6p.m. (Medgar Evers Library in Jackson, MS) --- An Introduction to V. C. Andrews and her book "FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC". This will set the stage for the weeks to come by opening up discussion about who was the woman behind the masterful stories.
